In the kaccompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is aside elevation view of one form of my invention in whicha springuisemployedvto eject the whip-section, the w 'p-sectionbeing retained inthe extended ppsition by a releasable locking device. In t `s viewthedevice is shown with its parts disposed to form' a cane.

Fig; 5 isaview similar to Fig. 3 of a modiiied form of my invention in which theinner end ofthe whip-section is externally screwthreaded and tted to theinternally screw-threaded outer end of the handle by means of which 'thetwo sections may be firmly secured with similar parts.

plete is `pisnfified With en oblon hole -i eh the rod 7 is mounted andadapted to permit a pin- 12, lsecured transversely in the rod` 7,

to"p ass therethrough when the said pin is in 1 the proper position,-butpreventing therod from sopassing when turned to a different position.This form of my invention is perated as follows: To assemble thepartsftoform the whip, the lcap 2 isremoved and mounted on the screw-threadedprojection provided on the outer side of the closed end y of the ,sleeveand denoted'by 13. By rotating the sleeve 6on the handle 1 to theVproper position the pin 12 can pass through the oblong hole l1, thusreleasing the sprin 10, whichhas previously been compresse and whichthen suddenly forces the follower IPO 9 outward and quickly shoots thewhip-section 3 to the position shown in Fig. 3,1in which thereleasableflocking device comprising the spring strip or catch 5 engagesthe grooved lower end of the section 3. To

IIC

form the cane, the sleeve 6 is retracted to the position shown in Fig. 2and turned so as to position the in 12 transversely relative to vthehole 11 t us retaining the spring which has been compressed by drawinback the sleeve 6. The catch is then orced outwardly at its free end,freeing the whip-section 3, which will then drop to the position shownin Fig. 2, when the cap 2 may be removed from the projection 13 andplaced on the outer end of the handle, thus to form the cane.

In the form shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7 the parts are similarly formedand operated, excepting that the outer end of the handle is internallyscrew-threaded and provided with a shoulder 14, adapted to have bearupon it a peripheral shoulder on the lower end of the section 3 anddenoted by 15. The section 3 just above the said shoulder isscrewthreaded and iitted to the threaded upper end of the handle. Thecap 2 is screwthreaded externally at one end and fitted to the threadedupper end of the handle and. also to a threaded hole 16, provided in thelower endl of the sleeve 6. In this form the catch 5 is employed toretain the section 3 in the upper position after it has been forced tothat position and until it can be rotated,

so as to have its screw-threaded end fit the threaded end ofthe handleto which it is s'ecured. The shoulders 14 and 15 prevent the entireremoval of the section 3 by inadvertence and further help to firmly lockthe section in the extended position.

Many modifications of my invention may be made without departing fromits spirit.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

' 1. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle, awhip-section ,insertible in the handle, a spring for forcing thewhipsection to the extended position, a member slidably mounted on thehandle, means by which the spring may be com ressed when the said memberis moved to t e proper position on the handle, and means for releasablyretaining the spring in the compressed position.

2. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle-section, awhip-section insertible in the handle-section, a spring for forcing thewhip-section to the extended position, means for retaining thewhip-section in the said position, a member slidably mounted on thehandle-section, means by which the spring may be compressed when thesaid member is properly moved, and means for releasably retaining thespring compressed.

3. A combined whip and cane comprising a tubular handle-section, awhip-section insertible in the handle-section, a spring for forcing thewhip-section into the extended position, a sleeve slidably mounted onthe handle-section, means by which the spring may be compressed when thesleeve is properly moved, and means for releasably holding the springcompressed.

4. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle-section, a whi-section insertible in the handle-section, a ollower longitudinallymovable in the handle-section and adapted to support the Whip-section, alongitudinally-movable member on the liandle, means by which thefollower may be retracted in one direction when the said member isproperly moved, and a spring for moving the fo lower in the oppositedirection.

.n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
